Re: guile under gdb crashing on Unbuntu 22.04

[Daniel Tornabene]

so, I don't know off the top of my head how Ubuntu does their GDB
packaging, but Debian does not package GDB with guile support enabled, you
have to recompile GDB with the configuration option --with-guile and have
either 2.2.x or 3 installed, along with the appropriate dev packages.  I'd
be willing to bet that this is something to do with that.  Maybe check your
pkg-config options and see what guile is linked with?
